At H+K all of our ideas are built out of insights and truths, rather than relying solely on instinct and experience. We develop insights from our deep sector knowledge and understanding of our clients’ brands and truths as well as cultural knowledge. We go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that data drives our work.
To deliver a true 24/7, always-on approach for our clients — acting as a publisher to create and measure content — we structure ourselves like a newsroom, bridging all channels at H+K. We build a team for each client’s needs, based on outputs and specialties rather than agency titles, allowing us to be agile but focused.

At H+K, we believe in the power of content and creativity. We have insight into the media landscape, which, combined with data collection for actionable insights and world-class creativity, allows us to deliver the right package of services that suits each client’s strategic needs. With many offices globally and our breadth of expertise, we have teams wherever the key audience lives, specializing in whatever readers care about. We focus on middleweight content that is digestible, short, and unique, and often includes multimedia. Our agile, custom content gets companies recognized. We combine products and wisdom, helping our brands take their audiences on a purpose-led journey, and we back all of this with creativity.

Both the creation and distribution of content must be informed by consumer behavior. At H+K we first assess the right format and author to optimize your publishing strategy. Then we consider channel, working with best-in-class tools to assess behaviors, influences, and passions. Finally, we map look and feel to ensure that creative direction is consistent across all channels. When it comes to publishing, by again using a data-led approach, we’re able to use our relationships with artists, influencers, media, and more to produce world-leading content, which is then published in the right places to ensure that the intended audiences get to see it.

In our world of connectivity, reputation has never been more vulnerable. This is especially true in the cyber arena, where the implications of a crisis are costly — in terms of dollars, and also the potential reputational impact on an organization. H+K draws on our expertise, deep experience, and best practices gleaned from direct experience with high-stakes cyber incidents to help organizations effectively navigate the challenges of an incident and prepare diligently for the situations they could face. While the details of every data breach are different, we have seen that the life cycles are remarkably similar: Cyber Incident Services + Cyber Preparedness Audit + Training & Simulation + Cyber Incident Planning + Proprietary Tools + Global Coverage + Emergency Response + Reputation Recovery. The circumstances are undeniably daunting, but there are concrete steps an organization can and should take in anticipation of an incident.

We believe that brands with a purpose that customers understand and trust are more valuable. These brands have employees that live and breathe their purpose through every touch point with customers or clients. Their strong employer brand attracts talented people with their own sense of purpose, who actively contribute to their culture, which in turn guides their strategy and decision-making. They contain networks of advocates who take every opportunity to innovate, share, and interact both internally and externally. The most successful businesses trust that their people want to do the right things, and know the right things to do. And they give them space to make things happen. Our People + Purpose team helps our clients to join up the dots between brand and internal culture, so that their businesses grow from the inside out.

All kinds of things drive rebrands, including changing audiences, cultural shifts, a new CEO and new markets. We create brands for all kinds of people. We’ve rolled our rebrands at petrochemical companies, run change programs at estate agencies and revamped all kinds of startups and SMEs in between. We pin down where you are now, and where you’d like to be. We create a brand to get you there that complements your culture and your strategy, defining your purpose as well as how you look, sound, name, and write. Then we make waves, from starting a quiet revolution to creating a movement, to give you the results you care about. We make your brand stick.

When recommending brands, 75 percent of people only do so for those in which they’ve had great personal experiences. So we create these experiences, designing physical spaces people explore and digital ideas people share. But creating a lasting buzz needs more than a one-off event. That’s why we create digital/online touch points and teaser content to whip up enthusiasm in addition to interior spaces and environments, launch events and campaigns, and exhibition signage and wayfinding. Then we keep it going, using highlights from the experience to keep people talking for weeks to come. With whatever we create, we always push to provide the right balance of creativity and practicality, giving you the results you care about.

Our 360˚ Reputation Monitor analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of an organization across its key stakeholder groups, helping to create a foundation for building equity. Further, it can inform comprehensive C-level reputation management, breaking down silos in the organization and guiding the allocation of limited resources. Combining research expertise with public affairs insight and cutting-edge technology, we deliver valuable, timely information and provide actionable metrics for executive decision-making.

Our campaign-style research approach helps to inform message development for the purposes of crisis and issues management. Our model provides an objective assessment of the current context and environment, an empirical road map to guide communications strategy, and a benchmark against which to measure progress. The approach simulates the education process that takes place during a campaign and, through statistical analysis, reveals the most compelling facts and messages our clients should use to tell their story and position themselves, their issue, or their product with the public.

Compass is a dynamic, multidimensional issues-management framework that can be leveraged to guide prioritization and communications across the myriad of reputational issues that a company faces on a day-to-day basis such as product or service quality, reputation as an employer, and sustainability and corporate citizenship. The tool combines research on public priorities, a company’s strengths, and its current issue stances to highlight the issues where that company can take a leadership position, where it may need to engage with the public defensively, and what issues are of less concern. This tool is helpful in positioning the company externally but also provides great value in coordinating and aligning the efforts of internal audiences.

The Risk Relevance Indicator is a proprietary new tool that analyzes online activity to predict how stakeholders will react to a given incident or scenario, to help you understand which issues present the greatest risks and the greatest rewards to your company. Using information drawn from social networks, news and digital activity, we assess the resonance and potential brand impact of risks. Specifically, our analysis will explore the scope of conversations on issue challenges and opportunities, the most influential voices (both individuals and organizations) in these discussions, public reactions to and engagement with certain issues, how your brand and industry are associated with the narrative, and how your risks compare with your competitors. The output is rich, insightful, and remarkably simple.

At H+K we have developed a Purpose Driven Communications Model that puts your purpose at the heart of all your communications. It allows us to develop a cause and story arcs that make your purpose relevant and resonant with all your audiences. Once we have developed your cause and story arcs, we create content to carry your story to your audiences and a data-driven publishing strategy to ensure that the content is seen in the right places.

Measurement / SingleScore™

SingleScore’s proprietary algorithm melds overall media coverage, owned-web analytics, and social performance into a single metric tracked over time. It considers performance across paid, earned and owned spaces online using a unique methodology that covers reach, amplification, engagement and loyalty signals, turning this into a measurable score. By using this algorithm, we can benchmark against competitors to view how a business or brand is performing in the context of its sector.

Influencer Identification and Tracking / Sherlock+

Influence changes on a daily basis, and Sherlock+ tracks these variations constantly, which leads to less time searching and more time finding, knowing, and creating great work. Sherlock+ is an influencer-mapping dashboard. Partnering with social intelligence company Brandwatch, Sherlock provides a unique, real-time perspective on the people that have the most impact across eight industries and 45 core topics. The dashboard was created using “VIP lists” of key influencers across each subject, designed by H+K’s sector experts. These are then extended using data-driven network analysis of the interactions, engagements, and relationships that surround these super-influencers, which are ranked according to true impact, all in real time.

Behavioral Insights / H+K SMARTER™

Our specialist behavioral insights and strategies team has developed a behavioral communications model, called SMARTER™. Based on the latest science, it brings together seven of the most effective methods by which communications can influence behavior. The model acts as both a framework for analyzing audience behavior and a toolbox from which to influence it.

Crisis Training and Simulation / Flight School+™

FlightSchool+ is an online crisis simulation program that lets businesses and individuals test their crisis response capability in a controlled setting. Running over multiple communications platforms, the immersive FlightSchool+ experience runs in real-time with H+K’s specialist trainers assessing how teams perform when the pressure is on.

Media Measurement / Brand Report Card

We will design a monthly report card to visualize a top-line assessment of your brand’s media performance. We will collaborate with you to determine the best metrics to showcase your success. These metrics range from volume, coverage over time, sentiment and share of voice to global performance, key messages, reputation metrics, share of topic, and share of media channels. The visualizations in our Brand Report Card can be included in your reports to senior leadership or in your brand’s marketing collateral.

Media Measurement / Custom Measurement Report

Senior analysts will customize measurement reports that evaluate your media success. Our analysts are adept at cutting through the noise by honing media searches to capture meaningful coverage across global markets, and delivering it in a way that can be quickly digested and strategically acted upon. These custom reports will be tied to your communications and business goals, and feature world-class metrics and strategic insights to help increase your brand’s awareness.

Media Measurement / Media Performance Indicator

Our proprietary Media Performance Indicator will provide you with one score that indicates media performance in three metrics that are most important to your brand. Each month, we will rate your coverage for these metrics and visualize a barometer of your score over time. We will accompany the scorecard and drill down to show you what works, what doesn’t, and what to do next.
